Top Sox Moments of 2009 - Number 4 - Varitek Gives up 20 Stolen Bases

In one game. Actually it was 6, but that was back in May and it could have been a good reason why the Sox went out and woo-ed Victor over to Boston. That and whatever near .200 average he was hitting at that point. This isn't really as much of a "Top Moment"as one would think, but if it did push Theo and Co. closer to realizing they needed a new backstop, well then I guess it worked.

I know we rip on Tek a lot here, but it's purely statistical. Hell, he's supposedly having some adult relations with Heidi which while making me insanely jealous, also gives credit to what kind of awesomeness he has displayed here over the last 10 years. It will be sad to see Jason go (and he can't take Heidi with him) but in a way an abbreviated year of him this year may be the best way to go out.
